Janikowski bares (almost) all for ESPN photoshoot

ESPN the Magazine catches a lot of flak every year for its photos of mostly naked athletes, but they try to beat that rap by also including athletes not named Hope Solo. Namely, athletes like Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski who, excluding a few outliers who will doubtless make themselves known in the comments, is not considered a sex icon.

Janikowski hits the newsstands this week in ESPN’s “Body Shot” feature, which illustrates his kicking ability with some very revealing (though SFW) photos and video.

The photos are available exclusively through the magazine, but you can check out ESPN’s behind-the-scenes look at Jano’s photoshoot below:
